Using TFTP to Upload the Configuration
ExtremeWare XOS 10.1 Concepts Guide 231
Using TFTP to Upload the Configuration
You can upload the current configuration to a TFTP server on your network. The uploaded
configuration file retains your system configuration and is saved in XML format. This allows you to
send a copy of the configuration file to the Extreme Networks Technical Support department for
problem-solving purposes.
You are unable to view XOS configuration files with a text editor. To view your current switch
configuration, use the
show
commands available on your switch. For more information about the
show
commands, see the ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Guide.
To upload the configuration, use the following command:
tftp <ip_address> -p -l <local_file>
Where the following is true:
•
ip_address
—Is the IP address of the TFTP server
•
-p
—Puts the specified file from the local host and copies it to the TFTP server
•
local_file
—Specifies the name of the configuration file that you want to save to the TFTP server
If you upload a configuration file and see the following message:
Error: No such file or directory
Check to make sure that you entered the file name correctly, including the .cfg extension, and that you
entered the correct IP address for the TFTP server.
Displaying Configuration Files
To see a list of the configuration files in your switch, use the following command:
ls
You can also see a complete list of configuration files by entering the following syntax followed by the
Tab key:
•
save configuration
•
use configuration
Renaming Configuration Files
To rename an existing configuration file in your system, use the following command:
mv <old-name> <new-name>
Where the following is true:
•
old-name
—Specifies the current name of the configuration file
•
new-name
—Specifies the new name of the configuration file
If you rename a configuration file, make sure the new file name has the same .cfg extension.
